Some clips. I like how it has its own Starlink dish.

Tim Dodd has often been wrong about booster assignments. I’d like to see confirmation from Next SpaceFlight.

Me too. No offense to Tim, though.

~~A TFR has just posted for April 8th. This may have slipped a day to the right unless it's just a backup-TFR that got posted before the main one:~~

The backup TFR did indeed get posted before the primary one, all is well.

NextSpaceflight confirms B1058.7 !

vaporcobra · « **Reply #28 on:** 04/05/2021 11:37 am »

For those counting, an on-time launch would see B1058 narrowly miss B1060's 27d 4h record with a 27d 8h turnaround.

Fairing recovery ship Shelia Bordelon has just departed from Port Canaveral for the upcoming Starlink mission. This will be the second mission for the pink and blue new recruit.

L-1 weather forecast: Primary Day has improved to >90% 'Go' but now has a moderate upper-level wind shear risk. Backup Day #1 has improved to 90% 'Go'.

SpaceX official launch website has been updated.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, April 7 for launch of 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous window is at 12:34 p.m. EDT, or 16:34 UTC, and a backup opportunity is available on Thursday, April 8 at 12:12 p.m. EDT, or 16:12 UTC.

The Falcon 9 first stage rocket booster supporting this mission previously supported launch of NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station, ANASIS-II, CRS-21, Transporter-1, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean. One half of Falcon 9’s fairing previously supported launch of AMOS-17 and two Starlink missions, and the other previously supported a Starlink mission.

1058.7 confirmed (no surprise), it will be a 4th and a 2nd flight for the fairing halves.

Some stats from https://www.boostertracker.com/

Herb Schaltegger · « **Reply #37 on:** 04/07/2021 02:55 am »

I don’t get the difference between the second and third stat above. How is “re-flight of a booster” different than “flight with a flight-proven booster.”

Pretty sure this was asked and answered somewhere before (most likely on L22 ), something to do with FH boosters counting as reflight of a booster but not counting as a F9 flights

I think more, an FH with two used side boosters is one flight with a flight proven booster, but would be two re-flights of a booster. The wording is not perfect in any case.
I blame the Brits. They invented this language.
